Colorado 342 (1926) Road Sign - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal Design

This decal features a faithful visual recreation of the historic Colorado 342 state highway sign from 1926. It embodies the earliest era of state route markers in Colorado, a time before standardized reflective shields and modern design conventions. The design itself transports you back to the mid-1920s, capturing the nascent days of the U.S. Highway System and Colorado's initial efforts to mark its roads.

Design Elements and Meaning

The artwork directly references the design specifications of the original sign. The shape mimics the outline of Colorado, presented as a rectangle. A bold black background is framed by a clean white border, providing a clear visual contrast. The words "COLORADO" are displayed across the top in crisp, block capital letters, reflecting the period's typography.

At the heart of the design, centered on the sign, is the route number "342." The digits are rendered in a bold, hand-stenciled style, reminiscent of the enamel painting techniques of the time. This detail captures the authentic look and feel of those early, locally-produced highway markers.

This sign represents an important chapter in Colorado's transportation history. It symbolizes the state's early efforts to establish a functional highway system and represents the evolution of road signage. The design provides a tangible connection to the past, reminding us of the rudimentary yet pioneering spirit of the 1920s.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
